MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

WARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and
in particular conditions it can become
explosive. It is important to carry out
the refuelling and the maintenance
operations in a well-ventilated area,
with the engine off. Do not smoke while
refuelling or near fuel vapours, in any
case avoid any contact with naked
flames, sparks and any other heat
source to prevent the fuel from catching
fire or from exploding. Further, prevent
fuel from flowing out of the fuel filler, as
it could catch fire when getting in
contact with the red-hot surfaces of the
engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area has
completely dried before starting the
vehicle.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun
radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw th e pl ug up carefull y after
refuelling. Avoid any contact of the fuel
with the skin and the inhalation of
vapours; do not swallow fuel or pour it
from a receptacle into another by
means of a tube.
